Yeah, that's some serious convincing, but you gotta play all the angles. There's the technical side, the power saving/green side, the investment in the future side, the latest and greatest side, etc. Figure out your strategy, get the game face on, and go to town!
Remember, this isn't just a hobby, it's an investment. And how much bigger of a single investment can you make than this? Also, you'd probably be the first on your block to have one..... what's that worth?
But I like your spirit in scheming to go after something!
BTW, we checked the water, found everything good, and cheated by getting a Royal Gramma in there. He's fine for now, but found nice little hole to hide in..... He''ll come out tomorrow when he's hungry.
